First cask at NERAX. Dark pour some head. Nose is licorice and prunes. Tastes of prune, molaseees, licorice, chocolate, caramel. Smooth palate.

Cask at Jolly Judge. Dark brown body with a beige head that. Faint lacing. Aroma of black grape, floral hops and chocolate. Flavour of prune, black grape and earth. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Rich and malty. This is a simple and very tasty beer.

Cask at Queen Vic, Aberdeen. It pours darkest ruby - black with a thick, khaki head. The aroma is soft, sweet, ripe cherry upfront which mellows to chocolate, jammy, vanilla, fruit compote, roasty malts and some dull coffee. The taste is smooth, dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet character, cacao nibs, ripe cherry, definite black forest vibes, earthy and dull coffee grounds. Light - medium body and soft, frothy carbonation. The cherry character doesn't feel fake and is well integrated into the base beer. Decent.
